  • Adult here. I have now over 10 years of experience as an adult, although closer to 20 years of experience playing video games.

    There are two realizations that are needed to understand the relation of someone in this life style who is also a fan of video games.

    First, no I do not have as much time as I used to have to play video games. In school and university times I would easily play over one hour per day on a week day and much more on a weekend. But nowadays, I spend 8 hours per day on a weekdays working on my job, plus a few hours doing house work. So can’t play as much as I could.

    But second, I also want to do other things. Nowadays I actually read much more then I used to. I also try to do other hobbies, and try to do social activities much more. I tend to spend more time with other people too. So out of my free time that I would use for video games in the past, I actually allocate that time for other activities.

    I still absolutely love video games. They are a part of my life. But I probably play two to four hours per week only. These hours are few but highly meaningful anyway.

    I think part of the journey for me to become an adult, to have a job, responsibilities, and such, has also been about broadening what I do, so it doesn’t upset me that I can’t spend so much time on video games, but rather it makes me happy that I have a fuller life.








  • I think it’s a master piece. I played a lot of it.

    I do kind of have a problem with the RNG because at some point I already know what I need to do to solve a puzzle, but I just need to get the right rooms to be able to actual make the puzzle. I don’t have a lot of time to play games, so I gravitate away from it due to this.

    But aside from that, I think this is one of the most amazing games I’ve played. The lore, the design, the puzzles themselves. I’ve had quite a few moments where I was completely mind blown with things.


  • The day I quit my current job.

    I’ve been with this company for a few years. I grew in it and had a great time. My boss however decided to take over my job, and slowly I’ve been going back to tasks I was no longer doing since I had other responsibilities, while he takes over my tasks and ruins what I’ve been building for years.

    It’s been painful to see that, but extremely painful to see the mood of the team changing to the worse, and just having a sense of less productivity.

    It’s a lost cause at this point. So I’m just looking for the day where I get to leave.
